Starting From The Bottom
Recently, I have thought about wanting to do a powerlifting meet again. I haven’t competed in 2.5 years and I am a little rusty at some of the movements. Shaun and I haven’t been focusing on powerlifting movements as much lately and have been doing some weightlifting mixed with bodybuilding exercises.

If you have listened to our most recent podcast (episode 56), you will hear all of the things we have accomplished this year as a couple.

The Month Of Preparation
In previous blogs, I have mentioned that there are a many things that I would like to get done by the beginning of the year.

Getting Initial Principal Out Part 2
As we discussed last week on our blog and on our podcast (episode 45), getting your initial principal out is crucial.

Getting Your Initial Investment out
I am a huge proponent of getting your initial investment out of whatever investment vehicle you are using. I use this tactic in real estate, stock trading, and business.
